Lux Meter in Maharashtra
A Luxe Meter, also called a Lux Meter or Light Meter, is an instrument used to measure the intensity of light in terms of illuminance, expressed in lux (lx) units. It consists of a light-sensitive sensor (typically a photodiode or photoresistor) connected to a digital or analog display. The sensor detects the amount of light falling on it, and the meter converts this into a lux value for easy reading.
Luxe meters are commonly used in:
- Workplace lighting assessments to ensure compliance with safety standards.
- Photography and cinematography to achieve proper exposure.
- Greenhouse and agriculture for monitoring plant growth conditions.
- Museums and laboratories where controlled lighting is essential.
They are lightweight, portable, and provide quick, accurate readings of ambient light levels, making them valuable for both professional and everyday applications.
